When the pandemic made people stay at home, Gilbert residents got more in touch with their home and made useful improvements. Here’s our top 5.
Artificial Turf & Landscaping
One of the most popular home improvement upgrades that takes less maintenance and water are turf lawns. Artificial grass is great for hot and dry climates like in Gilbert, Arizona. The temperature extremes during the day and night in Arizona make synthetic turf attractive for its resilience. To maximize your artificial turf use, consider installing retractable awnings.
Home Automation
One of the product categories that really boomed in the past year were home automation devices. It’s the newest kind of home improvement that people have.
- Amazon’s Alexa is currently one of the most popular home automation and smart assistants in the US. Alexa is seen to be the most sophisticated voice assistant currently available.
- Google Home has a lot of customization options and feature compatibility with a wide range of smart devices and great compatibility with other Google services.
- Apple HomeKit has the smallest compatible devices available in the market but is most focused on security and best integrated with their ecosystem.
Solar Energy Panels
A recent report pointed out that Arizona is a prime location for solar energy with all the sun that it receives year round. What’s more, solar energy panels get tax exemptions when the property value rises because of the installation. Combined with the use of awnings and shades, you get plenty of savings on your electricity bill.
Drop Shades & Awnings
Especially in the Summer and the way extreme heat works into the Grand Canyon State, shades of all kinds are an essential upgrade for any Arizona home.
